D-2 Netopia ISDN Modem User’s Guide

Installation

The Microkey Switchboard7 installation process is initiated by the Netopia ISDN Modem installation process. Switchboard7 determines the operating system running on your computer. If it determines that you are running Windows 3.1 or Windows 3.11, the Switchboard7 installation process continues and the installation program displays the appropriate dialog box. If you are running Windows 95 or NT, the Switchboard7 installation process is bypassed because these operating systems are shipped with high-speed COM port drivers from Microsoft.

To ensure that your system is properly optimized, you should remove any existing serial port device drivers before you install your Switchboard7 Comm Port Accelerator. The installation program will search for and remove some of the most common third-party COM port drivers configured in your SYSTEM.INI file. If any of these drivers are discovered, the following message will be displayed on screen, “A version of “Driver Name” was found. This installation will replace it. Do you wish to replace it? YES/NO.””

If you respond with “YES,” the old drivers will be removed from the SYSTEM.INI file. The installation program will automatically create a backup of your old SYSTEM.INI file.

Enter YES to continue the installation. If you enter NO, the installation will be aborted and the following message will be displayed on screen, “User has cancelled Installation.”

When the installation is finished, the follow message will be displayed, “High speed Drivers Installed. “SYSTEM,INI” Modified. Current “SYSTEM.INI” BACKED UP TO “SYSTEM.XXX”

Click OK. The following message will be displayed. “INSTALLATION

COMPLETE. RESTART WINDOWS TO ACTIVATE INSTALLED DRIVERS.

Restart Windows to complete the installation.

If there is a problem during the installation, you will receive the following error message, “ERROR DURING INSTALLATION, ERROR CODE XX.” If you see this message, record the error code listed in the message, locate the corresponding error code in the error codes table below, and take the corrective action associated with the error code.
